Parks Centennial Celebration: Time Travellers’ Walk and Talk at Minnewaska
Sunday, August 25, 2024 09:30 AM - 11:30 AM
Before Minnewaska became a State Park Preserve, it was home to a luxurious resort, complete with two hotels on scenic vistas, plenty of recreational activities, and a chance to "renew your soul" within the world of natural beauty. Join Park Educators as we take a deep dive into this rich history by looking at historic photographs from the collection of the Library of Congress as well as reprinted copies of promotional brochures from over one hundred years ago. We will then take a hike around the Lake Minnewaska Carriage Road, stopping to examine various spots where those photographs were taken and vistas that inspired the brochure covers. Along the way, we'll also discuss ecological differences between then and now and the positive role that the resort had in preserving this unique place. Meet at the Lake Minnewaska Visitor Center. Pre-registration is required by calling the Lake Minnewaska Visitor Center at 845-255-0752.
